Congress Set to Mandate Recruiter Access to Schools: WASHINGTON -- A measure giving military recruiters the same access to high school campuses as college and business recruiters will likely be approved by congressional lawmakers today, sources familiar with the legislation said. The Pentagon estimated last year that about 2,000 public high schools have policies that bar military recruiters, hampering their efforts. In 2000, all military services except the Marine Corps failed to meet their recruiting goals. "It's in everyone's interest to ensure that young people receive information, including military options, so they can make an informed choice about their future," Bill Carr, the Defense Department's chief director for personnel policy, said Monday.
